Orchard Blog Hop

Orchard Blog Hop!!

So today I am working with Club Scrap's digital Orchard kit. These photos are all of my son who is a senior this year. We did a PRE session, just to do a trial, to see if *I* could do his senior photos - so these are from that session.  His real photo session, he cut his hair and has super short hair and looks like a entirely different kid altogether.  BUT I still loved these photos - so I scrapbooked them - digitally using this awesome kit!

September Artist Team Challenge

September Artist Team Challenge

September's challenge is to incorporate watercolor techniques into your projects. We could use any technique that results in a “watercolor” feel. I found a cool technique I wanted to try where you use 'alcohol' to repel the watercolor, pushing the color away leaving a lighter tint of color exposed. The results were gorgeous.

Supplies:
Watercolor paper
Dylusions spray
Alcohol - I used nail polish remover
Stamps
Black ink
White gel pen

Instructions:

1. You are going to want to hurry and do the next two steps quickly - so have step 2 supplies all ready to go, right after step 1. You don't want to the dylusions spray to dry before doing step 2. Spritz watercolor paper with 2 shades of dylusions spray.

2. While the dylusions spray is still wet, put nail polish remover in small dish and use toothbrush or Q-tip to spritz or dab alcohol onto the wet spots, the color will move and leave cool designs as shown:

 3. Once dry, stamp images in black ink.

 4.  Using white gel pen, outline stamped images.

 Add sentiment and mat card.

Here is the another three versions I made using same technique:

Happy Birthday Dad!!

Howdy Bloggers - Today I wanted to share the card I made for my dad's birthday - Today we are celebrating his 75th birthday!!  Its not his actual birthday today - I didn't want to post the card before I actually gave it to him, which would be today.  Today is the day when we could all get together for a big party, so I am excited to see everyone and have a fun day!

I started by dry embossing some card stock from the Club Scrap Garden Shed kit.

 Then I used rubberstamps from the Club Scrap Lakes kit, and stamped as shown:

 I then, outlined various spots with white gel pen to accent:

 Then I put the whole kit and caboodle together as shown:

 I made a matching envelope:
